Incredibly Bad Movies That You Will Avoid Seeing If You Have Any Shread Of Self-Respect

1. Jack Frost. UGH! To see the snowman is to LOATHE the snowman. Michael Keaton plays a dad with a REALLY bad rock band who thinks that he is about to make to big. (this alone is one of the most laughable aspects of the movie, as the band's music seems to consist of bad christmas songs, sung by balding middle aged men. This is rock at it's un-coolest.) Anyway, he's not spending time with his kids and wife, blah, blah, and he gets in a car crash. And he comes back a year later on the family's lawn as a *gasp* a SNOWMAN! And what a snowman! A bland, goey blob with anorexic tree limbs for arms which spin 360 degrees in disturbing manner (oddly enough, this is not a horror movie) Anyway, he helps his son out with the usual problems that movie children have, Bullies etc. The weirdest thing about this movie is that no one seems to notice that a huge, 6 foot tall snowman with a hideously gaping mouth is following the kid around. I mean, people in movies are often stupid, but no one can be that stupid! Utter trash. And it's aimed at FAMILIES!! Do NOT show your children this movie! God knows what type of reaction they will have! I hardly survived............- 2. The Princess Diarys. I HATE HATE HATE this movie (as about half of you already know) I SUFFERED through seeing it 8 times in one day (37 times in one weekend) and it has left an indeledible mark upon my brain....... I shall never recover........
Oh lord...I've seen it! noooooooooooooooooooooo!
Which reminds me, there's another Jack Frost...made a year earlier that could be put on this list as well. Evil snowmen are so dorky.
:?)
Can you imagine snowman death matches? Now that's a movie I'd like to see......
Ha! Michael Keaton's friendly assed yet slightly creepy snowman vs. evil killer snowman, who inherits the spirit of a killer due to a chemical spill. Yes I said a chemical spill.
I'm betting on Keaton for all the right and wholesome reasons. :?)
T'ho
:?)
I'm wondering however, why 8 times, who strapped you down.
T'ho

I was on one of those big coach busses going to Wisconsin with this choir I used to be in, and everyone wanted to see a movie, and the only one we had was The Princess Diarys, so were watched it over and over and over.....
Good reason to quit the choir right there. Sorry dude.
T'ho
:?)
I already have..... it was really screwed up....
I'd like to see Keaton get whupped.....
But that would mean evil would win, and silly evil at that. :?)
T'ho
:?)
In my opinion, a man who chooses to come back as a snowman is just as evil, if not more evil than a snowman who was born a snowman. Ha! ;)
And being Michael Keaton, even more evil (watch out for Bertie, he loves the guy). Good point.
T'ho
:?)
All good actors have made the occasion bad career choice. I have to admit that Jack Frost does sound horrible (and horror movie-like) from your description. But Keaton has been great in most of his movies, e.g., Beetlejuice, Batman, Batman Returns, The Dream Team, Pacific Heights, Multiplicity... He's good at evil and good at good - he's frightening and funny - not all actors have such range.
After watching Keaton's Clean and Sober - where I first saw a distinct edge to his acting ability, I thought sure he was headed to a higher quality of work. Batman seemed to rob us of that.
Yeah, I'm always right about some things..... ;)
